P179 Patient safety alert: a prospective study on 100 patients highlighting inaccuracy of pulse oximeter finger probes used on ear lobes

Introduction Clinicians often obtain peripheral saturation (SpO2) readings by placing a finger probe sensor on the patient’s earlobe when a reading cannot be obtained from the finger. The accuracy of ...
